Fighting overpopulation means str. against familial and hormonal procreate, intruding on the privacy relations, violating moral and religious against contraception, and, as a last resort, kill­ ing unborn children.

Congress slashed funding for family abortion rates among women over 35 are twice those for planning; 1989 appropriations for "population assistance" were hilif of those granted in 1972. And Reagan-era conservatives argued that a booming population was good for the economy: more people means more consumers, which means more producers, and more progress. Julian Simon, a "genius" economist affiliated with the conservative Heritage Foundation, argued that if one birth in a million produces a genius, then doubling the population doubles the number of geniuses. And those geniuses, he argued, would continue to figure out ways to support more people on fewer resources. As their trump card, the conservatives triumphed in the fact that, with the exception of a drought in Africa, Ehrlich's predictions of mass starvation had not come to pass.

Beyond carrying capacity What neither Ehrlich nor the conservatives were smart PORTRAIT OF enough to observe, however, was that there was no mass starvation in the Sahara until the geniuses convinced the locals ASERIAL KILLER that it would be alright for a whole lot more of them to live there.
